Then again, you'd have to assume that people trying to follow official pronunciation are anomalies.

Not exactly. The official way of substituting the circumflex is with ‘h’, not ‘x’, so it would be written as ‘forghejo’, which might actually guide English speakers to the correct pronunciation. (There are various systems to type without di

Are we looking at the same graphs? In the linked comparison, WebP has at best maybe 10% of an improvement over JPEG for a 500px image, and actually performs worse as the images get bigger. (The 18% you’ve likely read are in comparison to th

Because WebP does not offer a >25% improvement. As far as I know, it is only better than JPEG in some cases, and then seldom by that much. [1] And of course, this is only when you compress an image lossily. If you try to recompress an al

Open-sourcing something does not imply that¹ at all, since open-sourcing almost always equals to releasing as free software. It's the choice to talk about the source now being open, as opposed to the users now being free, that reflects

I assume that implies you are not proponents of software freedom? The distinction may be important for some people, if only for placing trust in your long-term vision.

Another reason no language is going to be perfect is that people will disagree on what constitutes perfection. For example, I have always found the flexible word order and the accusative to be a very beautiful trait of Esperanto, and would

Esperanto was always another language to learn. The idea was never that you people would be able to read Esperanto without learning it; that's pretty much impossible, considering the diversity between languages (even looking just at Eu

There’s also re:claimID¹, which should be fully distributed and work on top of GNS², but it’s still very much a work in progress. 1. https://reclaim.gnunet.org/ 2. https://gnunet.org/en/gns.html

> So far the best stab at the problem is Urbit, but mostly because almost nobody else is even trying. What about GNUnet? They’re trying to build pretty much what you described, from the ground up. https://gnunet.org/en&#x

You could try Jami. It’s fully distributed and improves over Skype and Discord by respecting its users’ freedom. Calls should work fine with it, but text messaging outside of them can be unreliable. https://jami.net/

Yeah, probably just moved to other repositories for the time being. (E.g. I think https://git.gnunet.org/groupchat.git/ is from secushare.) The PSYC chatrooms are pretty active, and they have recently opened some issue

I don't think they're associated, but they seem to have a similar function. secushare has a comparison page where they compare their project to others (including RetroShare) for various use cases, so you might want to take a look

Have you gotten in touch with the developers? They recently redesigned their website, and are trying to make the project more approachable in general. If you have any remarks or suggestions for improvement, I'm sure they would be appre
